The Fontana identity & design agency

FONTANA IDENTITY & DESIGN AGENCY

Welcome to Fontana identity & design. We are an independent Brussels-based design and communications agency. Our team is composed of design and communication professionals with an international background. We share a passion for quality and functional aesthetics. Which means, design.

Founded in 1999 and privately owned, Fontana provides intelligent solutions for sustainable results. We enjoy simplicity with a smile.

Fontana identity & design is also a partner of Yellowdesign Foundation. This partnership is our primary international, multidisciplinary platform for research and intelligence on the quality of living in urban space and mobility, where design and visual communication interact within communities or in urban civil society.

We work closely with the Yellowdesign Foundation on the development of its research, notably relating to the perception and impact of design in public transport and public space at large. Fontana also creates the design concepts that result from in-depth field research.

Here you can find examples of the work we’ve done for our clients , research projects and press publications. We hope you enjoy your visit.

HETEROTOPIA, QUALITY OF LIFE IN CITIES AND PERCEIVED SECURITY

As world population grows, cities attract more people and diversity.
Heterotopia and multiculturality go hand in hand. They are linked to the need for attention given to the individual’s aspirations balanced with accepting the common interest in public space.

Public space is where we walk, meet, greet and agree . It is an important construct in an individual’s as well as organisations’ range of activities.
In partnership with Yellowdesign Foundation we developed SPIN-UP (Security Perception in Urban Public transport), a methodology that goes far beyond CPTED (Crime Prevention through Environmental Design) that builds on neighbourhoods, developing synergies between the different actors involved prior to deciding on the design and lay-out of the space.

VISUAL LANGUAGE AND BRANDING

You speak a certain language. You choose and wear a clothing style that speaks about you. Both reveal a part of who you are, your taste for quality, how you wish to be seen. It is about broadcasting your identity.

Like you, top brands do exactly the same thing. How they speak to audiences and present themselves visually as a way of saying, This is who we are.

EMOTIONAL IMPACT

Communication is emotional. Fontana identity and design knows the degrees of emotional impact behind branding, the balance and judgment needed in shaping an identity.

While delivering your brand research, we can also follow-through with the communication tools you need to ensure your organisation distinguishes itself in the larger, competitive world. Making sure you develop consistency, helping you look and sound just right, just you.

We focus on assisting organisations, both national and global, in deciding the visuals of their personality. Giving shape and structure to data that point to practical results and dynamic messaging.

BRAND SUCCESS

We're all people, delivering our brand to people. We take great enjoyment in helping make organisations attractive, to distinguish themselves in their marketplace, and gain and maintain success.

From research, design, and total management, right through to visual identity and communication, in both print and online.
